Ad-blocker is not blocking Firefox ads. Is there a way to block these ads from the Firefox home page?

Whenever I open a new Firefox window there is a new Firefox ad. AdBlocker Plus does not seem to block Firefox ads. All ads are annoying. Period. Even yours. Is it possible to block these ads? Please advise. Thanks!

What is it that you are seeing. I think firefox only displays web pages, rather than popup adverts etc.
If you are talking about the new page seen when you update from an earlier version, that should only display the once. If yours displays continuously and repeatedly on startups then maybe something is blocking the required change.

Is there some way to PERMINENTLY stop Incredimail from chaning my home page on firefox

I enjoy using Firefox for too many reasons to mention. I also enjoy using Incredimail. However, each time Incredimail is updated it changes my home page on firefox. I've made changes to Incredimail that were suggested by their tech support people but again, each update puts Incredimails search page on.
Any suggsestions from your side?

Safari Preferences > Tabs (in Safari 7)
There is an option there for specifying how new pages open

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?

Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.
A replacement iPhone 4 is $149, but at least the whole phone is replaced.

Is there no way to simply remove realplayer from the blocked list?

...My issue is someone disabled the realplayer extension / addon /
plug in for some ungodly reasoning due to some block list.
I'm over here cussing a blue streak at this choice of blocking,
especially when I cant goto my "add ons" area and simply click
"options/ turn on / enable etc" and what have you. Everything is greyed out thanks to an annoying block list filter.
Which, from my understanding doesnt even apply to my version of firefox. I have had realplayer on here for YEARS and it has never once caused me any problems.
And now because some one decides it causes issues with firefox version whatever, they're going to block it on a master block list for some reasoning? Tch.
Is there NO WAY to simply remove realplayer from this said block list? I know I can go into about;config and disable the -whole- list, which I dont want to do.
Cant someone make this thing a little more user friendly with the block list? Put some damn check boxes next to it so I can filter what I want.
And if someone tells me to update something or another... -twitch-
Everything had been working just fine for me until someone started playing with the ^%$#&ing block list.

Recently my itouch will not fully open articles from the yahoo home page. The article starts to open but as I scroll down the page there are blacked out and whited out sections. Te "reader" option opens the full article.

I can look at the yahoo home page and open the links to articles, but the articles do not fully open unless the reader option is available and I use it. So far this has happened only from yahoo or some links emailed to me. I have done a hard reset but not a restore.

- Double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 3G 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- Next try going to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies, Data and History
- Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT3226 my mail will just not open, when i try to open it it just gets stuck with the mail home page half open and when i click on the icon at the bottom it says app not responding, is there anything i can do myself or is this a trip to the Apple store?

My mail app will not open at all, it just gets stuck half open and then when i go to the icon below it says the app is not responding, is this something i can fix myself?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Quit Mail.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I've been wondering about a feature that I ran into with a previous version of Firefox. Is there any way to open two separate windows in Firefox 4?

I ran into this when working in gaiaonline.com on Firefox 3.6, ''I believe it was .6. It could have been a later version. But it was 3 for sure''. I was signed into one profile on one window, and my sister was signed in to hers on a different window of Firefox at the same time. I was wondering if there was a way to achieve this on Firefox 4.

You can look this extension if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:

Is there a way of blocking websites on a ipod touch

wierd websites keep apearing on my safari pade i keep going back to the history folder to try and block them bt its no use.
is there a way to block pages on safari if know PLEASE TELL ME NOW!!!!!

Ok, just stop and think about the question for a minute.
The iPod is powered OFF and he wants to know if there is a way to turn the iPod ON "remotely" which implies he cannot physically push the On/Off switch to the ON position.
Because the iPod must be powered ON for it to be connected to a wireless network, your answer makes no sense at all.
Therefore the answer to the question is NO.

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

Firefox 4 and the previous 3.x version fail to update changed user home pages? After reboot the ancent home pages reappear and the replace the now ones. Why & how to fix this software bug?

- Firefox 4.0 is used as preferred browser
- One can change the user home pages. The new homepages are found & work ok after closing and reopening Firefox.
- However, after rebooting the laptop (HP Elitebook), old Firefox home pages reappear, they replace the new ones.
- If I remember correctly this bug appeared already prior Firefox 4.0, this malfunction/ bug was noted in some last winter version before the v 4.0.
- Help/ Bug fix is appreciated!

Is there a way to block Firefox from closing while files are downloading? I don't want to accidentally quit the program and cut off current downloads.

Basically, I was downloading a game from Game Agent and I accidentally quit Firefox. This stopped the download and I was not allowed to resume it, forcing me to spend $30 to buy the same game AGAIN to get a new download file. Is there a way to add a warning box to Firefox that says something like: "Are you sure you want to quit Firefox? Files are downloading" when I try to quit?

Untested, but according to http://www.phil.im/2011/04/27/how-to-enable-firefox-download-warning-on-quit/ set browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 in about:config

Is There a Way to Block an Individual Cookie in Safari 4.0.4

Is there a way to block an individual cookie on Safari 4.0.4? I blocked in on Firefox but I can't seem to find a similar function on Safari. I delete from Safari it but Facebook keeps reinstalling it. Thanks!

As for automatic deletion of cookies: no, Safari does not do that. This means in practise that you have to click on Show Cookies and manually delete those you do not want retained. You obviously want to keep the ones for regularly visited sites (like Apple) to speed up log-in etc.
I have Cookie Preferences set to 'Accept cookies only for sites I visit', but I only wish to retain cookies for the sites i regularly visit, like these forums and others.
To that end I use a small app called SafariCookies:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which only works on Leopard (which is what we both have). This adds an item in Safari Preferences whereby you can automatically delete all cookies on shutdown, except those particular 'favourite' ones you wish to retain to avoid entering your user name and password each time you visit.
So, if you don't mark Facebook as a 'favourite', their cookies will be deleted on shut-down.

Is there a way to block applications from opening unwanted tabs?

Is there a way to block applications (or at least wait for user permission) from opening unwanted tabs? (like those annoying "Welcome to ..." or "You've successfully installed..." after installing/uninstalling a program, or even a Firefox addon).
I just don't want Firefox opening tabs that I did not directly intended to open.
Also, I've installed AdBlock Plus and Pop-up blocker is enabled, but still some websites allow pop-ups. How can I completely disable opening all stand-alone windows?
Thanks in advance! :D

What you are talking about is built into the install programs.
Firefox has no direct control over them.

Ad-blocker is not blocking Firefox ads. Is there a way to block these ads from the Firefox home page?
